3 Surefire Ways To Get Some Time Back Today

In the real sense, I have come to a full realization that you never had enough time in the day. Days feel like hours and hours feel like minutes. Where does all the time go?

To help, I’ve compiled a list of 3 ways that I think can help save some time in your day.

The 2-Minute Rule

If a task comes across your desk that takes less than 2 minutes to complete, do it right now.

It’s better to get these small tasks off your plate rather than schedule them for later or write a note to remind yourself about it. It usually ends up taking more time than if you were to actually do the 2-minute task. Quick things like replying to an email or taking out the trash are better done right away.

Get in the habit of occasionally stopping to ask yourself this question throughout the day: “Is the task I’m doing right now on track with my goals?”

This is taken right out of The Four Hour Workweek but you’d probably be surprised by how many tasks you do regularly without ever considering their effectiveness. Email is a big one that takes up a lot of time but could probably be reduced down tremendously.

If your number one goal is to grow your business, make sure that every task you do is somehow helping you do that. Don’t get trapped in the hamster wheel of working hard but never seeing results.
